Hi everyone. Glad I found this site!
I was dx in 2007 as bipolar. Most of my symptoms are depressive, but what led to the dx was a manic episode that resulted in me being delusional, psychotic...all the bells & whistles.
I have been doing well - on prozac, lamictal & topamax. I caregive my grandmother & am establishing a pottery teaching studio. Life is pretty good. BUT last week, my mamaw had an episode. I had to call 911. She's in the hospital. I went & tried to care for her there & it was awful. I started crying a lot & I think it triggered me a bit.
Also, I stepped on a wasp (UGH) and had to take benadryl, which only adds to depressive issues since it makes me sleep!
Anyway, nice to meet everyone lol. I know I am like a ray of sunshine.
